Job / Role Summary

Our vision is to transform how the world uses information to enrich life for all. Join an inclusive team passionate about one thing: using their expertise in the relentless pursuit of innovation for customers and partners. The solutions we build help make everything from virtual reality experiences to breakthroughs in neural networks possible. We do it all while committing to integrity, sustainability, and giving back to our communities. Because doing so can fuel the very innovation we are pursuing.

The Principal Engineer provides technical leadership for NAND Advanced Thin Films, defining technical direction and driving the strategic advancement and integration of sophisticated structural and electrical film processes into manufacturing. Success requires proven leadership in thin film module development, strong cross-functional influence, deep characterization and correlation capability, and strong judgment in technical tradeoffs for manufacturability, scaling, yield, and reliability.

Main Responsibilities

• Define and implement technical strategy for structural and electrical film process development aligned to business and technology objectives.
• Lead multi-functional teams to develop, integrate, and scale thin film processes for advanced NAND structures/devices.
• Oversee end-to-end development of process modules with focus on manufacturability, scalability, and integration readiness.
• Resolve complex technical challenges with significant business implications (root cause analysis, mitigation of process/device failures).
• Drive technology transfer and ramp-up activities to enable transition from R&D to high-volume manufacturing.
• Lead cost reduction, yield improvement, and reliability enhancement programs through innovative process/material utilization.

Other Responsibilities

• Mentor senior engineers and influence technical direction across the organization. Represent the function in technical forums and strategic collaborations; benchmark against industry standards. Identify emerging trends/risks/opportunities and recommend future investments/critical initiatives.
• Integrates AI-assisted tools and insights into daily work to improve efficiency, quality, or effectiveness, exercising sound judgment and complying with organizational standards and legal requirements.
